Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 261
Catherine had initially approached Shaun with impure intentions. After that, she lied to him again and again in order to get out of jail.
Now that her lies were exposed, their relationship was just like a bubble that would burst at the touch of it.
…
Catherine could not fall asleep the entire night.
She got up early and prepared breakfast for Shaun.
Perhaps it would be the last breakfast she made for Shaun.
“Why did you get up so early? It’s only 6:30 a.m.” Aunty Linda entered the kitchen while yawning. Upon noticing Catherine’s pale face, she was stunned. “Didn’t you sleep last night? You don’t look so well.”
“Aunty Linda, these are the recipes I wrote last night.” Catherine handed the booklet to her. “These are some of Shaun’s favorite dishes. He’s quite picky, so I might need to trouble you to cook for him in the future.”
“What do you mean?” Aunty Linda was shocked. She was aware that both of them had been in a conflict recently, but conflicts were common between couples. “Quickly keep it away. Young Master Hill likes your cooking. No matter how well I cook, he won’t want to eat my food.”
“Next time… There’s probably no more next time.” Catherine gave a self-deprecating laugh. By the look of things at this point, she did not dare to anticipate that she could continue to stay in the house.
Even if she personally told Shaun that she was in love with him, he would not believe it either. He would just think that she was interested in him all because of his identity.
What was more, they had lost faith in each other. If they remained together, they might not be able to live happily.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Aunty Linda refused to accept the booklet. With that, she turned around and left.
Catherine had no choice but to place it on the kitchen cabinet with the belief that Aunty Linda would notice it.
This morning, she put a lot of effort into preparing breakfast. The menu included churros, cinnamon rolls, and pancakes.
Today’s breakfast was similar to the first meal they had when they started living together.
At 8:00 a.m., Shaun came downstairs dressed in a black turtleneck sweater and a pair of black trousers. With his tall figure, he never failed to look like a celebrity who shone and exuded brilliance regardless of what he wore.
